The synaptic gap, also known as synaptic cleft, is a tiny space between two neurons where communication occurs through the exchange of neurotransmitters.
congrats on reading the definition of Synaptic gaps. now let's actually learn it.
Synapse: This refers to both sides of the synaptic gap – where two neurons meet for communication.
Presynaptic Neuron: This is the transmitting neuron located on one side of synapse; it sends out signals into synaptic gap.
Postsynaptic Neuron: Located on other side of synapse, this is the receiving neuron that picks up signals from synaptic gap.
